This course offers a clear, practical introduction to Enterprise Data Management with SAP. You will learn why poor data quality costs organisations time, money, and trust, and how SAP solutions help govern, distribute, analyse, and activate enterprise data for AI. A simple framework connects the entire learning journey:MDG governs it, MDI distributes it, Datasphere analyses it, and AI consumes it. Each topic begins with a recognisable business challenge and is explained through plain language, relatable examples, and memorable analogies. No system access, configuration exercises, or technical background is required. The course concludes with the NovaTrade Global case study, an engaging business story that brings the full framework together through four data crises, their root causes, and the solutions used to resolve them. By the end, you will have the vocabulary, perspective, and confidence to discuss Enterprise Data Management with business and technology stakeholders and advocate for better data practices in your organisation.
